Q&A: What window treatment situation would you suggest on two close windows?
Question by Stephanie Roynestad: What window treatment situation would you suggest on two close windows?
I have three “standard” windows in my living room. I haven’t measured them, I can’t find my tape measure, but they are probably 3 feet wide by 4 feet tall. Two of them are close together (with maybe an inch or two between) and the other one is by itself, all on the same wall. What would you suggest I do about curtain panels and rods? I don’t know if there’s enough room on the two windows that are close to use two rods. Would it look funny with one LONG rod? If I did one long rod, should I use just two panels, one for each window, or four panels, two for each window? I was planning on doing two panels on the one window by itself. I am really not good at style and decor! We’ve had nothing but $ 2.99 blinds on our windows for 3 years!

One long rod on the two windows would look fine. The closer you put the rod to the ceiling will make the window look larger. Myself, I would probably use sheers because I am not a fan of drapery. I would fill the rod with a bunch of coordinating color sheers. Use whatever colors match your decor and hang them alternating, antique white and beige, for example. Or pick two colors that are opposites from your decor like purple and white.
If you need privacy at the window, hang bamboo blinds.
This pic shows what I mean by hanging the colors alternating only i would do this all the way across the rod.

Roll-up Blinds are back with new eco-friendly textures and colors. These stylish blinds have fibers such as paper, bamboo and jute. These blinds also have a percentage of polyester so they will hold their shape, color and have longer life.
And, they have a natural luster that will shimmer and bring real warmth to your home for years to come. Plus, creating blinds with these fibers help the environment, because the plants are annually renewable and biodegradable.
Roman Shades are many times a complete solution and can be custom or ready-made. Since they are made of soft materials, and allow for light to come in or be blocked – they afford practicality, function and design.

Q&A: Can you suggest a window treatment for large windows in a formal dining room that have plantation shutters?
Question by KYKate: Can you suggest a window treatment for large windows in a formal dining room that have plantation shutters?
The shutters come out pretty far when they are open so the window treatment needs to accommodate them.

You may want to try a fabric wrapped cornice. Just make sure that when you mount it, you mount it high enough for the shutter panels to swing open under the cornice.
You can either hire someone to custom make this cornice for you, or you can make it yourself if you’re handy.
Without getting too technical, a cornice is a flat board with attached flat board sides that you staple cotton to, then staple a fabric to, and then mount it to the wall.
